Doesn't appear to be live yet in the US, at least it's not showing up for me.  I did manage to snag one last go around however so maybe that's why

I didn't see this until now, but for future reference, it looks like there's a way to get cashback when shopping at store as well.  I'm not sure if it's applicable to Lego specifically but believe there's an option to check into the rakuten app or something along those lines when shopping physically.  I have not done it before, and I don't have too much experience with Ratuken myself so if anyone else has had experience with this please let us know!

Thanks for this update. I didn't know you could earn in-store either. I downloaded the Rakuten app and it's easier to access that feature from there. The earning potential is less in-store, but it still works. LEGO isn't on the list now. However, that could change in the future.

Looks like the 15% from Rakuten is gone on my end. Happy I pulled the trigger yesterday. Not having access to the Ulysses today definitely helped that decision. Otherwise, I would have held out for today's free $100 bill!!! Good luck to everyone trying to get it today.

Yes, I understand all of this, and will still be trying.

I gave it a try too. Damnit. The only thing LEGO engineering can get correct.

Doesn't matter anyway. It's gone now. 2 mins after it opened in EST. Impressive

[bmalsam16141]

Well that sold out fast!

Really curious what will happen to the price. It's been stable around $125 shipped for months. Short dip and then back up?

Looks like there are some pre-orders and codes being sold below that already.

Got one! Actually set an alarm

Yes. Wondering the same. Sold out quickly but no idea how many were redeemed during that short period

It only took several instances of mass protest to make LEGO spend money on a proper programmer instead of IT interns

Yep, now the bitching begins...

So now the question becomes, "What exactly did you accomplish here, LEGO by re-releasing this again?". I have a strange feeling that the Ulysses will continue to be released ad infinitum until everyone in the world owns one.

That said, I don' trust the limited factor on these GWP's anymore. Get'em and sell'em asap because there is a good chance they'll be re-released for the cry babies.

So who all is interested in buying the BrickLink sets at noon today?

Looks like we may get another reward during LEGO CON (Saturday, June 18th).

I'll settle for a 10350 Lion King Castle reveal though. Hear we might get a cool Forrest Man GWP with it.

Anyone else having issues with LEGO Shop at Home or is it just me?

Update....the website is working but in the rewards center, the dollar amounts are showing in USD but the language is not English. I checked my settings and I am set for North America/English..so not too sure.
